<span>a. what is the labor productivity per
dollar?
b. what is the multi-factor productivity?</span>
Answer:
a) You have to divide the dollars spent in labor with the
number of rugs produced.
In order to calculate the dollars spent in labor, you have
to multiply the number of hours worked with the price per hour.
labor expense = 520h*13$/h=$6760
labor productivity per dollar = 65rugs/$6760=0.00962rugs/$
b) You have to divide number of rugs produced with total
expense.
In order to calculate the total expense, you have to add
every expense.
The solvent expense can be calculated multiplying the number
of gallons with the price per gallon:
solvent expense=100gallons*5$/gallon=$500
The machine rental expense can be calculated calculated
multiplying the number of days with the price per day.
machine rental expense = 20days*50$/day=$1000
So here is the sum:
total expense=labor expense+solvent expense+machine expense
=$6760+$500+$1000=$8620
multi-factor productivity=65 rugs/8620$=0.00754rugs/$
